Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 590: Chapter 570: Baozi, Dumplings

Luo Qianqian smiled as she nodded, never having thought she had a style name. Normally, she would look at the introductions of ancient people, like how Li Bai was styled Taibai and called the Hermit of Blue Lotus and so on.

”Okay, go on and have fun. I’ve accepted the disciple, and the weekend is a good day to formally accept the apprenticeship.” Jimo Kong waved at the two of them, then got into a fight over the box with Old Master Luo.

”It’s right for a disciple to honor their master, hurry up and bring it to me.”

”It’s from my granddaughter, get lost!!!”

Jimo Cheng smiled as he led Luo Qianqian out of the banquet hall, pulled out his own Jade Pendant, and showed her one side: ”From now on, you can call me Jin Nian.”

Luo Qianqian curiously examined Jimo Cheng’s Jade Token: ”Is yours fluorescent? Oh, it’s cold?”

Because she had been constantly holding her own Jade Pendant, Luo Qianqian’s palm was warm, and she was suddenly chilled by the Jade Token in Jimo Cheng’s hand.

”Yes, this is Cold Jade,” Jimo Cheng smiled. ”Yours is Warm Jade, and the eldest senior brother has Mo Yu.”

”Is it to prevent counterfeits? They all sound expensive.” Luo Qianqian, her head full of black lines: ”But the carving is not bad, it looks much better than those at my home.”

”Yes, these are all grandpa’s works. Not to speak of the jade’s value, the pattern on this side is not something that can be counterfeited.” Jimo Cheng casually picked up the Jade Pendant from Luo Qianqian’s hand and flipped to the side inscribed with the character ’Mo’: ”Look, there is a small clover here; mine has two leaves.”

”Ah, I hadn’t noticed.” Luo Qianqian exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.

”This is your pass for all locations in Mo Studio, at least in Han Moxuan it represents two words...” Jimo Cheng watched Luo Qianqian carefully holding and examining the Jade Token, slowly began to speak.

”What? Identity? Or awesome?” Luo Qianqian blinked, her face full of anticipation.

”Awesome? Jimo Cheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood, it represents that you are awesome? Well, that’s not wrong either: ”It’s on the house.”

”Huh? Did Grandpa Kong cheat me out of fifty bucks then?” Luo Qianqian blinked, handmade clearly isn’t something that can be finished in a day. If there was that intention, why charge in the first place?

But it seems... if there was no charge at that time, she might have been scared away, right?

”Isn’t this returned to you?” Jimo Cheng pointed amusedly at the big red envelope, and Luo Qianqian finally realized, ”You’re right.”

”Should I have someone send you the clothes for the weekend tomorrow?” Jimo Cheng said nonchalantly, ”Grandpa doesn’t care, but Great Grandpa is more meticulous, I’m afraid what you prepared might not be appropriate.”

Luo Qianqian nodded, then looked sheepishly at her own formal attire: ”It won’t still be like this, will it? It’s very tiring...”

”Simpler than this.” But more tiring. The latter part of the phrase Jimo Cheng did not voice out; wearing it isn’t tiring, but the tasks after putting on that attire are tiring.

Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief: ”That’s good, I still prefer wearing T-shirts and skirts, so much more comfortable.”

Then, looking at Jimo Cheng’s smiling eyes, she stuck out her tongue: ”Where do you go to school?”

”I was... um, abroad studying at a private school, um.” Discomfort was evident on Jimo Cheng’s face as he smiled, but Luo Qianqian was so excited she didn’t notice, which made him sigh in relief.

”Abroad, huh? Then your English must be really good! I’ve never been abroad. When my brother comes back, I’ll definitely make him take me to travel around the world.” Luo Qianqian looked envious; so far, besides her native city, she had only been to the Capital City and around the areas of Hu Si and Qin Liang.

And none of those trips were for leisure.

Watching Luo Qianqian’s face filled with longing, Jimo Cheng smiled, ”You should always have dreams, what if they come true.”

”Exactly, I don’t even know where my brother is right now.” Luo Qianqian sighed repeatedly, her usually lively face clouded with helplessness. But she quickly shook her head and smiled again, ”What’s the eldest senior brother’s name?”

”Jin Yang.”

”Huh? Doesn’t Yang mean sun? Doesn’t that perfectly make us year, month, day??” Luo Qianqian’s face was full of surprise. ”Day by day, month by month, star by star, the next one could be Jin Xing, haha.”

It reminded her of a popular host from a past life.

Who knew Jimo Cheng would raise his eyebrows, ”You probably don’t know what a closed-door disciple is, little junior sister.”

”Who doesn’t know? Foundation Disciples, Closed-door Disciples,” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, her face full of defiance. ”I was just saying.”

”Hmm, you know, can I come and find you later?” Jimo Cheng asked with a smile on his face, but the nervousness in his eyes wasn’t hard to detect, his fingers twirling together, the Jade Token rubbing in his palm.

”Of course! What’s your number? I’ll give you a call, let’s exchange contact information?” Luo Qianqian immediately pulled out her cellphone from behind her bow.

Jimo Cheng was stunned; he thought there was something odd about her dress, who knew such a trick was possible? But he quickly rattled off his number. Pulling out his phone from his pocket, soon it flashed two characters: Qianqian.

He naturally had the number, after all Luo Qianqian’s profile included everything from her favorite food to her favorite brand, how could it miss her phone number?

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qianqian saved the number with a playful smile, ”Should I save it as Chengzi or Jin Nian?”

In that moment, Jimo Cheng was briefly startled, but quickly said, ”Whatever you’re comfortable with.” But his hands deftly changed the name from Qianqian to Jin Yuee.

Luo Qianqian looked at the string of numbers and after hesitating for a moment, saved the name as Chengzi Senior Brother.

”Where does your affection for me come from?” Luo Qianqian asked after stuffing her phone back into the bow, hesitating momentarily, her bright eyes staring straight at Jimo Cheng.

Jimo Cheng watched her straightforwardly, ”Your eyes really remind me of a little dog I once had.” A brave and intelligent dog that was killed by someone.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched, her, like a dog?

But a sense of relief showed; she always said there’s no such thing as love without a reason or hate without cause. If so, it indeed is a bit provocative but not unbearable, considering her Baozi, how adorable?

”I also have a little dog, really cute.” Luo Qianqian straight up ignored being compared to a dog, what else could she do? Get angry? The other party had no malicious intent, getting angry would just show her pettiness.

”Can I see it sometime?” Jimo Cheng also showed a speck of joy, ”I haven’t kept any pets since Dumpling died.”

Luo Qianqian’s face was full of shock, ”You mean the one like me, no wait, the one I remind you of... was that good-looking dog named Dumpling?”

Jimo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, nodding, ”When I was young I loved eating dumplings, that’s why I named it Dumpling.”

Luo Qianqian blinked, trying to appear casual, ”My dog is called Baozi.”

”Really?...” Jimo Cheng was also surprised, his mouth falling open in disbelief. Could this be a coincidence? After the shock, his face softened, could this be fate?

Luo Qianqian nodded, equally surprised, ”Its official name is Luo Baozi, nickname Baozi.” But no one really calls Baozi as Luo Baozi, it was merely Luo Qianqian’s personal wish to give Baozi her surname.
